FireFox is completely free.

It has tabs and oodles and oodles of cool extensions such as a spell checker, search inlets, etc without spyware. Although it sucks at playing music. It'll always say I'm missiing the quicktime plugin when quicktime is installed.

I like Firefox overall, but I find it seems to use ridiculous amounts of my CPU when I have certain sites open. The Sims 2 BBS is a good example, Gamespot is another. If I have one of those sites open, Firefox will use around 60% or more of my CPU, which is a little annoying when I'm trying to play a game.

Agreed Firefox uses more of the system, a hit I'm willing to take. Although, I don't have nay broswers open when I play anyway. Just sucks of memeory regardless.

Umm, isn't AOL like, The Internet? 

Thought you were serious for a sec...


IMO, FireFox is just more stable than IE. Easier to use and is open source which makes it a huge hit with techies and hackers (thus making it less likely to be attacked by said techies/hacker). Secure, free, TABS!, RSS...what's not to love?

Thank you for clearing that up. Guess I hit a spam site or some other crap site. Any thoughts on msn?  I dont use mine but its there.

I was afraid of that, but I tried to convey sarcasm with the little smiley thingie there, but it's not always easy to convey sarcasm with text. 

I hate AOL.

Yeah, I always shut down all my other windows before playing sims 2. I might be able to get away with running both now becaue I just added 256 extra megs of RAM to my computer but it would probably lag horribly.
